Madykazoo Educational Foundation creates story-driven, stewardship-focused learning experiences for children ages 4–10, teaching respect for the earth, its natural wonders, animals, and food sources through the seven continents. This page covers what educators and grant reviewers most need to know: our curriculum's standards alignment, program structure, and how grant funding is used.
Madykazoo Educational Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to cultivating early stewardship of the earth in children. All proceeds from our book series and merchandise go directly to the Foundation. Grant funding and proceeds support:
Designed for children ages 4–10, Madykazoo's continent-based stories and companion lesson plans are built to support Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) earth science strands, including ecosystems, natural resources, weather and climate, and human impact on the environment. Each continent unit pairs an illustrated storybook character with age-appropriate discussion questions, vocabulary, and activities suitable for classroom or homeschool use.
The program is organized into seven continent-based units, each anchored by an original illustrated character and storybook. Companion classroom materials are available through Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT), with single-classroom and multi-classroom licensing options.
PLACEHOLDER: Verified impact figures (books distributed, classrooms reached, grant funding awarded to date) will be added here once confirmed. Remove this note when real numbers are in place.
Madykazoo Educational Foundation is an early-stage nonprofit, so we don't yet have peer-reviewed outcome studies. What we can offer grant reviewers today: our published book series and TPT lesson materials as direct evidence of program content, our nonprofit registration and financial structure, and a growing record of classroom and community use that we track and report on as it develops.
